Name change.

I decided to change mine because I thought it would be nice to have a name people could go "I'm not sure what that is but I think I can pronounce it and I have a slight idea about what it means." Instead of "So...Sol..whatever I don't know how to pronounce that, I have no clue to what it means, I guess I'll remember him that way, I don't understand his user name."

So what does it mean?
I assume you are not affiliated with the Eight Trigram secret society, are you?
 
I am learning Ba Gua from my martial arts teacher teacher, Grand Master Verigan. She was taught Ba Gua from Dr. Daniel K. Pai. Right now my training is focused on the internal styles, mostly Ba Gua, Tai Chi, and a very little bit of Hsing-I (or Xing Ye, I've seen it spelled both ways, but nnot sure if I spelled them right anyways). Also I used tiger for two reasons: One is that my rank (brown sash) is considered tiger level and two my body type about average hight strong, but kind of stocky. While on the subjest I might as well add that I am testing for my black in August at our annual summer camp, I know I am ready. I also know that I have alot to learn.
